Thursday = Friday

Dear Confusia,
I am so excited about today. I mean not really, but I'm excited that I don't have to work tomorrow or Monday and so today feels like a Friday to me. Granted I do have to make that hellish drive tomorrow. And it's hardly going to be like a party weekend, but still, I won't be at work again until Tuesday. Yippee! Sadly, I will be missing out on two days of in-service training (boo hoo), but somehow I'll make it through.
How have you been?
Love, Terps
Dear Terps,
Do you think it's possible to have a mid-life crisis at my age? I mean, I know I'm only 23, but it just seems like I'm bored out of my mind with the same old routine. You know, I think this must be the age at which people do weird shit. Maybe I should get a new tattoo, or new hairstyle or color. I don't really want to become a hari krishna or anything; I just want to do something I don't usually do...and no, using a semi-colon just now doesn't count. Oh well, I'll think of something. Maybe it's time for more belly dance classes. Who knows?
I'm waiting somewhat impatiently for my income tax refund. Until I get it, I am a poor little churchmouse. No high rolling for me. ha ha I say that like I'm ever a high roller..:) For me, high rolling is Wal-Mart instead of the Dollar Store. Oh well, that's working in education, for you.
Sorry this is so rambling. I'm going to do a fantastic post in a bit. It's going to be a VD extravaganza, just you wait and see! ha ha
I hope your mom is doing well. I also hope I manage to spend some time with you this weekend. Perhaps we can arrange to picket a Hallmark store or some such thing...
Love, Confusia
Dear Confusia,
Perhaps the first new, weird, and exciting thing you can do is claim the age you actually are. That might make for some wild and crazy entertaining. Below I have made a list of potential Valentine's Day activities we could engage in:
1) Picket or pipe bomb any and all Hallmark stores
2) Buy really cheap booze, drink it all, and hang out in the parking lots of all the upscale restaurants in the greater DFW area
3) One of us could throw ourselves in front of all florist delivery vans and while the driver is stopping to check on our well-being, the other cold climb into the van and do some shearing a la Morticia Addams
4) Hey wait a second. Don't you have a beau these days???
Love, Terps
Dear Terps,
Seriously, 23, 24 same difference. Claim my real age, indeed! ha ha
1.) Or we could into several of them dressed in Gothic glory and make fun of everyone.
2.) Buy cheap booze, drink it all, go in and devour guacamole in all the upscale restaurants...
3.) Perfect just the way it is. And since we'll already be in head-to-toe gothic for Number 1, we'll look like Morticia, too.
4.) I don't know if he's a "beau" as we have not had any awkward "BF/GF" conversations. I would like to see him at some point, but he may have to work. I'll have to just see how it goes. I would also like to get him some chocolate because he loves it so, and he's really good at sharing. :) sigh...He's really a good person for me...A few weeks ago we went out to eat and he complained because I wasn't taking big enough bites of his cheesecake. :) Yes. He needs chocolate. And kisses.
Okay, so even though I really like him alot, I still do not like Valentine's Day because it is a holiday made for bitching. I mean, why not just call it "Happy Bitch Day" because that's what everyone does. The men gripe because they're stressing out on what to get for their sig. others. The girls gripe because the men didn't get the right thing. That's the couples. Single people gripe because they're single...What the hell good is it to have a holiday that makes almost everyone unhappy??? Other Confusia suggestions for better names for Feb. 14th include:
1. Happy Binge Drinking Day
2. Happy Vomit in Your Mouth Day
3. Happy Everyone in the World Has Someone Who Loves Them but You Day.
4. Happy Hopelessly High Expectations Day
5. Happy Velvet Heart Factory Day
Any more I might have missed???
Love, Confusia
Dear Confusia,
6. Happy Do You Know How Many Bug Parts Are In Your Russell Stover Box? Day
7. Happy I Guess I'll Just Go Home and Kill Myself Day
8. Happy the Colors Red, Pink, and White Make Me Violent Day
9. Happy Wasn't This a Terrib le Massacre? And Isn't It Still? Day
10. Happy I Have an Illness That Makes Me Love Necco Conversation Hearts Day
Dear Terps,
I'd forgotten about your little addiction to those hearts. I prefer the Sweet Tart Hearts myself. Note to self: Pick up a box at the store tonight...
Of course, the one good thing about VD is that it's Rob Thomas' birthday. So, Happy Birthday, Rob Thomas!
Love, Confusia
